Chapter 3: 3. Man in white clothes
Unconscious, Shangguan Jiulin was unaware that the white light on the white-clad man beside her began to slowly fade, eventually disappearing...
Following that, the man's body also began to slowly transform, becoming more transparent until it turned into specks of white light. Some of these specks disappeared, while others burrowed into the unconscious Shangguan Jiulin's abdomen. Finally, a purple-gold light seemed to follow suit, entering her abdomen and vanishing...
Shangguan Jiulin, alone and unconscious, lay on the ground, covered by the white clothes previously worn by the man...
Deep within the Luori Mountain range of Nanfeng Country, there was a cliff surrounded by overlapping green peaks and shrouded in cloud mist. The cliff was about a hundred feet deep, and nothing could be seen through the mist below...
At this moment, deep within the cliff, a clear mountain stream meandered down, eventually gathering into an emerald pool at the bottom. Surrounding the pool were variously shaped giant stones, which perfectly blocked the spring water from flowing out...
The towering lush bamboo forest around, the fragrant green grass, the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers, coupled with sunlight shining into the bottom of the cliff like Buddha's Light, made the area seem like an Immortal Realm...
Sitting on a stone platform in the middle of the pool was a white-clad man wearing a mask...
With a "plop" sound, the white-clad man suddenly spat out a few mouthfuls of fresh blood. The bloodstains on his snow-white clothes resembled blooming Plum Blossoms, not looking disheveled at all...
The man's eyes narrowed dangerously. Who could it be, daring to disrupt him during his critical Cultivation moment? Damn it, if he found out, he would never let them off...
The man wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth and took out a thumb-sized purple diamond. Throwing it into the air, he cut his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto the purple diamond...
Immediately, the purple diamond began to spin rapidly, eventually radiating dazzling purple light. A circular light curtain appeared in front of the man...
In the light curtain, a white-clad man lay in a pool of white light, his eyes tightly closed as the white light flickered incessantly...
Over time, a woman staggered over in the light curtain, collapsing into the white light where the man lay. It was impossible to see the woman's face clearly, as the scene became extraordinarily blurry...
His eyebrows deeply furrowed, and his gaze cold, he fixated on the light curtain. When the woman eventually collapsed from exhaustion and his own body disappeared, the light curtain dissipated...
The man waved his hand, and the bloodstained clothes on his body were replaced with another set of white brocade robes. He then vanished from the spot in a flash...
The next moment, the man appeared in the cave where Shangguan Jiulin had previously fainted. However, the cave was now spotless; not only was Shangguan Jiulin gone, but there wasn't even a single hair left behind...
The man's gaze became even sharper as he meticulously searched the surroundings, but he found nothing. He finally stood in the same spot, looking at the place where Shangguan Jiulin had previously fainted for a while, before disappearing again...
If he discovered the woman responsible, he would ensure that her life would be worse than death...
